Checkpoint

OK, so I've played this game a bit at a friend's place and kinda got the hang of it (I've played STW and MTW1 in the past). I played a modded version, though, since I understand that the vanilla one has some issues. One of the things that tries its best to kill immersion is the people-get-200-years-old syndrome generated from having 2 turns per year and people aging only one year every other turn. The mod(s) that I used offset this slightly by having turns only covering one year, but that still meant that people only aged one year in two. Are there any mods out there that splits up years into at least two turns to make aging proper without totally whacking game balance (is it even possible having turns covering less than one year)? I imagine making things more expensive would solve the problem of technology advancing too fast and defending against the Mongols too easy etc. I've seen you posting at TW Center, Allan, so what gives? I haven't had the patience to look through mod threads of a game I haven't been able to play until this holiday. Any pointers would be appreciated since I'm getting this game as soon as my 1024MB RAM and new hard drive arrive.

Har har. I never played EU1, but from what I gather it's a light version of EU2. EU2, in turn, was a good game with a bunch of flaws and it was also very poorly balanced until the umpteenth patch came about. EU3 sounds promising in many ways, although there are some features I don't like the look of, that might turn out unplayable or great, probably going from the former to the latter over a patch-ridden few months/years.

You just have to love Hemsky's wrist shot! Now we need Smyth back and an impact guy on the blueline and things should start looking better.

I was gonna watch Edmonton-Colorado on delay, but Canal+ thought it seemed intelligent to show the highlights right before the game, so I kinda knew the score and didn't bother watching. Canal+ really excel at screwing up their delayed games in all sorts of ways, so I finally sent them an angry email. I'll be watching the Dallas game live, though, so I shouldn't run any risk of learning the result beforehand (though you never know with those tossers).

And who needs Ales Hemsky when we've got Matt Greene?

You are crazy. Christmas is about rampant commercialization and capitalism gone crazy backed by a mix bag of Pagan and Christian religious nonsense. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...and thus, sitting on his high horse, Sand acclaimed: "I can see my house from here!"

What about force power vs horse power?

No, but I ruled the Mughal Empire for five years.

Force Shave. (Armpits)

Sounds like the Bulin Wall is having a big game, albeit with some help from his goalposts. <_<

Yes. I've been studying for an exam the whole day, so I'll catch a bit of the Columbus game on the telly and then I'll listen to the Oiler game.

Yes, I find that peculiar too. He's still a quality player who I seem to remember having a pretty decent showing in the Olympics as well. Good for the Hawks.

The bigger issue is, how old are Raven, Reven and Maloch?

You're fatter. Did I mention I like fat boys?

Similar to the guy in your avatar! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No. Dave Angel is an eco warrior and has a human jaw.

Carefully so in the proper order to spell the name Nartwak, no doubt.

Yes, it is very important.

This bot has reached the next level of stupid.

No, 43% of the 67% that is made up on the spot is accurate. Of course I just made it up, so do what you want with it. There's a 57% likelihood it's a load of BS, after all...

But it must have been very fulfilling going through the hassle, no?

43% of said statistics are accurate. I just made that up.

I'll tell you what; madness inspired my username. Utter madness!

Yes, my child. Open Dustil's footlocker and thou shalt open thy mind to the coming of the Lord. Amen.

But what about boycott? These conflicting messages confuse me.
